falling apart in my old age

I really wish I knew what I’d done to my back to make it hate me so much lately. Perhaps it’s not going to the massage therapist in over a month. OK, back: I’ll make you a deal. You stop making it impossible for me to do such simple tasks as “bend over” or “lift [...]

Stuffed with Fluff

I AM Winnie the Pooh!

Continuing Laundry Woes

One of these days, I’m going to do the laundromat thing — take everything in and let someone ELSE deal with this crap. But no, instead I’m doing the Washing Machine Tango. What, didn’t you people get enough laundry done on SATURDAY NIGHT, you GIANT NERDS? I want clean clothes! Here’s the thing: There are [...]

Oh good god

Buckley’s? Worst thing ever. I am not getting sick I am not getting sick I am not getting sick I am not getting sick I am not getting sick …. Oh god, my mouth tastes like evil.

Not just talking about it.

Whenever I start feeling the education crunch, I start looking around at school websites. And occasionally, I feel the need to do more than just whine about wanting more of an education. Talking about it doesn’t do a damn thing. My new class starts on Friday. Interestingly, it applies towards two of my goals: Education [...]

General Discontent, meet Admiral Change

For the last however many months, I’ve been feeling a sense of discontent. It has its peaks & valleys, but has been my sidekick for far longer than it should have. Like Scrappy Doo, it’s making my ratings drop, and eventually I’m going to get canceled. Wait, that didn’t make any sense. Nevermind. Over the [...]

Dorks

So, it seems that the majority of my neighbours are big dorks. It’s Saturday night, Hallowe’en weekend, and the laundry machines are full. Seriously, people, get out! Go, do something! How did I find this out? Well, I was trying to do my laundry, of course…

H-A-Double-L-O-Double-U-Double-E-N spells Hallowe’en!

The subject is in reference to a song I learned in grade one. I doubt I’ll ever forget it. Hell, thanks to that song, I was in my teens before I realized that there was an apostrophe in it. In other news, I freakin’ love Hallowe’en. Save for Christmas, it’s my favorite holiday. Tonight, Abel [...]

It came from the pipes

So, I’m out trying on hallowe’en costumes last night, and my phone rings. How rude, thinks me. I’m trying to talk to the shopkeeper, and my phone keeps ringing. I shush it, and continue on. It rings again, I shush it again. Hmm, maybe this is important. When I’m left to my own devices for [...]

Not believing in something doesn’t meant it isn’t there

“A chronicler of the storm is crushed by its sorrows. A skeptic on depression is consumed by a disease he doesn’t believe in. A man teetering on the cliff finds his salvation in an unexpected place: modern medicine.” A rather eloquent post by a journalist who didn’t believe in depression… until he was hit by [...]
